Some Oldies, but Goodies

While going through my closet today in an attempt to do a bit of closet-cleaning (to make room for some spring BE goodies), I came across two bags I BEC'd forever ago, and probably should have posted pics of since they were a bit experimental and I know some of you would have appreciated the info and pics awhile ago.

I apologize for their somewhat disheveled appearance, they had been tossed in the bottom of my closet without stuffing in an attempt to speed the leather break-in process. Well, it definitely worked - a little too well. But, I will be dusting them off and putting them back into rotation cause I'd forgotten how much I loved these bags.

They are both Love Me Midi bags with two zips. The pewter crash has rolled handles like the TME and the petrol one has a narrower version braided handle. Between the two, comfort and looks-wise, I prefer the narrow, braided handle. Its comfy to wear and stays on my shoulder better than the rolled handles - though both styles were a big improvement over the original Love Me handles (which did not work on my narrow shoulders well at all).

Anyway, here they are! I wish my pics were better - especially of the pewter crash. I'd forgotten just how breathtaking that leather is in real life.

Love the thinner threaded handles! But it's amazing to me how just switching the pewter one to the rolled handles changes the look of the bag so much. :biggrin: Great bags!
 
Both beautiful bags!

I do love how BE lets us make our own customizations...so love both handle changes...the thin braided definitely does make a difference! I have them on several of my LMMini's and it is so comfy!

Pewter and Petrol...two of my favorite leathers!

Don't you love finding a BE you haven't used in a long while? My chocolate crash Stroke Me was pushed back in my closet, but I found it the other day and really loved wearing it. I have matching chocolate crash Mary Janes that go with it.:yahoo:
